Our Mission

Haiti Air Ambulance is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing an emergency aeromedical service to the people of Haiti. We fly critically ill or injured patients to emergency medical care - regardless of their ability to pay for the flight. Our mandate is to provide healthcare security, create jobs, develop educational programs, and foster an environment of growth and sustainability in Haiti.

Why We Fly

A prematurely born infant struggles for life. A father of six suffers a heart attack while working on his farm. Two children are hurt when their parents’ car overturns on a muddy road. If emergencies like these were to happen to you or one of your loved ones in the U.S. or any developed country, you’d take it for granted that an ambulance would arrive quickly--probably within the so-called “golden hour”. That’s when chances of survival are greatest if victims get adequate medical attention.
That is not the case in Haiti.
Scores of Haitians perish from disease, accidents and other causes that could have been successfully treated had they reached a hospital emergency room in time. Haiti’s landscape is rugged and mountainous in many places---and rough country roads can turn a dash to the hospital into an ordeal that lasts for hours or even days.
And that can easily translate to a death sentence for Haitian men, women and children who are unlucky enough to get sick or be hurt more than a few miles from a hospital. Filling this gap in the health care system is also critical to Haiti’s efforts to help itself by attracting industry that produces jobs—and hope for Haiti’s future. This is why we fly, and we hope you will join us as we work to make a lasting change in Haiti.

We recently welcomed the President of Haiti, Michel Martelly, to our base. The President gave a brief speech, and even took the opportunity to try out a stretcher on the helicopter! We are immensely grateful for his continued support of this project.
